| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Zaikesman, yes I was referring to instrument amplification and your point is well taken. | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Asa, with all due respect some individuals "who after a long progression of evolution in stereo" say that solid state is better than tube because it's true to them. Often they say that while they were enamoured with tubes they felt the need to ret... | |
| Sand or Lead shot Tiny amounts of lead paint dust tracked into your home from shoe soles can cause severe health problems to children. | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? What speakers can and do "add to the music that was not retrieved from the source or translated to the speakers", is the problem. Furthermore they can also subtract from "the music that was not retireved from the source or translated to the speake... | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? There may be more than one way to skin a cat. John Bau's classic Spica TC-50 claimed time and phase coherence via this arrangement: slanted baffle with cossover: high-pass slope, approximately first-order, 6 dB/octave; low pass slope, fourth-order... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Many live events are heard via tubes. Perhaps that's why many feel that tubes sound more "life like". | |
| What music is not derivative? A lot of good posts here, especially Ben Campbell's. May I submit Ornette Coleman and John Cage. | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? Nrchy, besides having to have compatability with associated cables and electronics, speakers have the distinction of having to have compatability with the room. | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? Karls, I believe that John Bau of Spica designed time coherent speakers with other than 1st order cross-overs. | |
| Why low sensitivity speakers? Karls, I'm no expert and you seem to have a much better understanding of these things than I do. However, it would appear to me that horns don't see more air in fact I would think they see less air. I'm guessing that the horn compresses the moving... | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? Tweekerman, brings up good point. If a piece is put up for sale with "o b o" then a negotiable sale is implied. | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? Some of the Audio Physics and Lowthar(?) designs might qualify. | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? While I have heard speakers that I enjoyed that weren't Time coherent I am consistently attracted to speakers that are. To my ears it is important. Dunlavy, Meadowlark, Quad, Spica, Thiel and Vandersteen are. I'm not sure but I think that the ESL ... | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? I believe the room, speakers, amps, etc. direction of priorities is the way to go. I feel that the room and speakers need to work as one. In as much as you may like the sound of a speaker at a dealers, they may sound awful in another room. It's al... | |
